this is with the latest. I haven't used it since then but if it occurs again 
I'll report it.

Hi Robert, I had a similar situation while on the bus last year, but it had me 
maybe a mile or two south of where I knew I was.  I turned the stem off, 
rebooted and things came back right.  Also, it was with an earlier version of 
Sendero GPS.  Jim

  last week I turned on my gps while on the bus and for about three minutes it 
was giving wrong information. It was showing me being eighteen blocks south of 
where I was. It had the direction correct but the street was wrong.

  Force GPS heading: this option allows you to tell the system the heading you 
will
  be traveling. For example you exit a subway and always head west. The GPS 
will not
  know the direction of travel until you move for a time. To change your 
initial heading
  press ENTER with H on the BT and READ with H on the QT. You are then 
presented with a menu with the following options: North, Northeast,
  East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, by degrees and unknown 
heading.
  Selecting any Compass heading sets your heading temporarily to the desired 
direction.
  If you wish to set the heading to a specific degree i.e. 121, select the "by 
degrees"
  option. Selecting unknown forces your heading to be in an unknown state. Once 
you
  move for 15 seconds or so, your temporary heading will be replaced by the 
real GPS
  heading.
